Back

I am sorry for being gone for a while. Things are real hectic when you are a single parent. I have had some bad news lately. I was laid off on Jan 30. While I have more time with my kids I am working on trying to make some money. I moved in June and haven't sold the old house. Finally I got the old house under contract. Then found out there was a leak in the water line. I dug it up and replaced it yesterday. That was a lot of work. Plumber wanted $750 for the work. The parts cost me $45.

Well I feel we are really messing up. Why am I, as a taxpayer, paying for the auto industry to be given money. Can't they buy cars at least. That is my biggest complaint about the bailouts. We as taxpayers are paying for all this stuff and getting nothing back. Banks are dumping homes they have taken from the same people that are giving them money for nothing. Here is the issue for me. I am selling my house for less than I paid for it in 1997. Why, foreclosed homes in the area that are 3 years old are selling for the same amount and half of the original amount. You know that they are writing off the losses and costing taxpayers. Here is my big complaint about this. Everyone says it was Bush. Well he was President, but it was Pelosi and Reid. They are the ones who pushed the legislation. Give the Republicans credit for being against it. Then Obama wanted more money before he took office. Americans need to be careful to assign this completely to Bush. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are just as responsible and maybe even more responsible for this and they seem to be getting a free pass while the media and public are blaming Bush. I am not obsolving Bush, just assigning blame to all of them which all have a hand in the great give away. One fear I have is that while Obama does seem to have a head on his shoulders and seems to understand what needs done, Pelosi and Reid can ruin him if he can't control them. People love Obama, but hate Reid and Pelosi.

Spector screwed the Americans. He may have lost his primary so for personal political reasons he switches parties and gives a super majority to the Democratic Senate. As a supposed moderate he has issues with both parties, so its stupid that he says he has dissagreements with Republicans. He should have dissagreements with both parties. I do. Stupid.
